INTELSAT IX SERIES SATELLITES The Intelsat 901 was the first of 9 new Intelsat satellites launched in June 2001 at 342°E. The IS-901 provides Ku-band spot beam coverage for Europe as well as C-band coverage for the Atlantic Ocean Region. With advanced features like selectable split uplink for SNG, the IS-901 is tailored for today’s communications demands, such as DTH and Internet. Introducing Intelsat 901 @ 342°E Enhanced power and coverage for the Atlantic Ocean Region IS-901 Highlights • Downlink e.i.r.p. (beam edge to beam peak) Global: 31.0 up to 35.9 dBW Hemi: 36.0 up to 41.0 dBW Zone: 36.0 up to 41.0 dBW Ku-Band: Up to 53 dBW • G/T (beam edge to beam peak) Global: -11.2 up to -5.6 dB/K Hemi: -8.0 up to -1.6 dB/K Zone: -7.4 up to +5.9 dB/K Spot 1: Up to +9 dB/K Spot 2: Up to +9 dB/K • More Power – The IS-901 is designed to provide an increase of up to 5 dB for downlink e.i.r.p. and up to 1.8 dB for G/T over the IS-VII satellites. • Greater Capacity – 72 C-band 36 MHz units represents a 71% increase in capacity over our previous satellite at 342°E. • Enhanced Coverage – IS-901 provides significantly expanded zone coverage. The Ku-band spot beams also include more area within each e.i.r.p. level. Advanced Features: • Selectable split uplink in Global Channel 12 for Satellite News Gathering (SNG) • Capability for SS/TDMA services in Channels 1-2 and 3-4 • Selectable split uplink in Hemi Channel 9 for DAMA • Flexible transponder activation for 12 out of 16 channels in Ku-band • Equipped with an overdrive control feature for Ku-band transponders
